I don't know about the unification church side of things, but it is well documented that the USA supported heavily the LDP inthe 50ies, including sinister politicians like Kishi, to advance their interest and fight communism.
Kishi happened to be Abe's grand father.
- warabe 4y agoIt is so crazy that someone like Kishi, who largely responsible for WW2, became politician again after WW2, then his grandson, Shinzo Abe, was also prime minister. I really don't understand why people support these politicians. I don't think the way Japanese people think of their politicians have changed before and after WW2. I just feel sad to see the current situation of this country. More than half of People never vote. Things will never be changed. I feel so powerless.
- coliveira 4y agoIt is not the people supporting these politicians. They are put there by higher powers (people with property, money, and international connections).

TBH as a Japanese, I feel current US situation (GOP become trump party) is much crazier. It's not even controlled by CIA. I want to believe it's controlled by GRU or something.
